Scaling up agroforestry adoption requires technical innovations that are adapted to the
environment demand driven require low capital and labour inputs and provide tangible
benefits in a short time. The basic inputs usually information and germplasm need to be
available. To reach out to millions of rural poor who require the products and services of
agroforestry innovations the scaling-up process has to be cost- and time efficient. The
common project mode of scaling up is often too slow and expensive and natural resource
management issues need addressing on a large scale. Experiences from south-western
Uganda suggest that local governments and organisations can be encouraged to initiate
cost-effective large-scale adoption. The recent decentralisation process in Uganda makes it
feasible for farmner organisations to do this while research and development organisations
concentrate on their comparative advantages which lie in developing innovations and
